DMU Act, 2017 | Syndicate Lacks Statutory Power to Cancel Approved Assistant Professor Appointments : Manipur HC
The Manipur High Court has struck down the Syndicate’s cancellation of eight approved Assistant Professor appointments in Physics and Botany, holding that it exceeded its statutory authority under the DMU Act, 2017. This ruling reinforces that once appointments are duly recommended and approved under statutory procedures, administrative bodies cannot retroactively nullify them without explicit legal mandate - protecting candidates’ legitimate expectations and institutional autonomy.
